Iridium is a metal element, atomic number 77. There are two stable isotopes, 191 and 193. Symbol for Iridium is Ir. It is one of the densest elements known. Much more info in Wikipedia entry for 'Iridium'. No cost info given.
The current price of iridium is around $6,000 per troy ounce. Therefore, one kilogram of iridium (which is approximately 32 troy ounces) would cost around $192,000.
Satellite phone are all pretty much expensive in my opinion but they most expensive seems to be the BGAN terminals. BGAN has internet and phone capabilities, which is probably why they are so much.
Generally, it would cost the same as getting satellite radio for your car.
Your price is cca. 367 US $ but it is not correct; the price of iridium now is 970 US $/troy ounce.
Satellite Sirius/XM boomboxes cost around one hundred to three hundred dollars.
The cost of the GOCE satellite mission was approximately 350 million euros.
As of early 2021, the cost of one gram of iridium is approximately $90-$100 USD. Iridium is one of the rarest elements on Earth and is used in various industrial applications, which contributes to its high value.

Satellite phones are indispensible for people working or traveling in certain areas. The phones themselves range from about $700 to $1300, then there are activation and subscription fees to consider. Activations for most satellite phones are about $40 to $50, and the subscriptions are about $50 per month. On top of that, satellite phones bill per minute for usage and that cost varies depending on a number of factors, but expect to pay between $1 and $10 per minute. Some companies offer the option to rent satellite phones for about $12 per day plus the airtime usage fees.
